Another often overlooked pastime is cooking. It is a great hobby for someone on a personal development journey. Exploring new recipes and flavours during winter can become a gateway to better understanding yourself, other cultures, and paletes. It’s also a good way to improve other life skills such as time management, multitasking, and concentration.
